Surgical options and reconstruction strategies for primary bone tumors of distal tibia: A systematic review of complications and functional outcome.
Article in Journal of bone oncology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPrimary malignant or aggressive benign bone tumors rarely occur in distal tibia, and limb salvage remains the mainstay of surgical options. However, reconstruction methods for large bone defect after wide tumor resection in this location are debatable. The purpose of this systematical review is to critically evaluate each reconstruction method regarding the postoperative complications and functional outcome.
methodsA systematic review of the 33 studies including 337 cases with tumors affecting distal tibia was performed after searching the PubMed and EMBASE databases. Pooled descriptive statistics with separate analyses for postoperative complications and functional outcome of different reconstruction options were performed.
results290 (86.1%) patients received limb salvage procedures. Reconstruction strategies including biological reconstruction, such as autograft, allograft, distraction osteogenesis and non-biological prosthetic replacement. The patients received limb salvage procedures tended to have a higher MSTS score (77.1% vs 70.9%,
conclusionsLimb salvage results in better functional outcome compared with amputation. Biological reconstruction is more advocated than prosthetics replacement, and furthermore, autograft might be suggested to be the optimal reconstructive method with regard to better postoperative functional outcome and less major complications.
